ANTI-ALBANIANISM OF A FORMER COMMUNIST - THE PRESIDENT

Zeqirja REXHEPI

Abstract

During the dissolution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the creation of the independent state of Macedonia, fragile foundations of a state were laid, precisely by personalities who were considered ideologues of this cause! The visionary leader of the independent state cause, the President of Independent Macedonia, a former communist, aimed to create a Slavic-Macedonian nation-state, even though his cause was not in line with historical or ethnic reality. A former communist of his time, he had traded his uniform for democracy, at the end of his ten-year rule, he wrote the book "Makedonija e se shto imame" ("Macedonia is all we have "). In this work, besides revealing numerous facts about the political developments of the time, Gligorov reveals his entire idea, which led Macedonia into an interethnic conflict—a conflict that could serve as a spark for the entire Balkans. In his book, Gligorov reveals his face as a nationalist, who served the Serbian cause of Milosevic, as Milosevic aimed for the explusion from the age-old homelands, Gligorov had to fulfill his duty - to open the corridor for the dispersal of Albanians worldwide, like the Jews who were expelled and scattered from their ancestral land two thousand years ago.
